| UniProt functional annotation for P06632 | |||
| UniProt code: P06632. |
| Organism: | Corynebacterium sp. (strain ATCC 31090). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Corynebacteriales; Corynebacteriaceae; Corynebacterium; unclassified Corynebacterium. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes the reduction of 2,5-diketo-D-gluconic acid (25DKG) to 2-keto-L-gulonic acid (2KLG). 5-keto-D-fructose and dihydroxyacetone can also serve as substrates. 25DKGR-A exhibits a greater selectivity for the substrate and higher thermal stability than 25DKGR-B. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=2-dehydro-L-idonate + NADP(+) = 2,5-didehydro-D-gluconate + H(+) + NADPH; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:35111, ChEBI:CHEBI:11449, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:36602, ChEBI:CHEBI:57783, ChEBI:CHEBI:58349; EC=1.1.1.346; | |
| Activity regulation: | Inhibited by Zn(2+), Fe(3+), Cu(2+) and Ni(2+). | |
| Biophysicochemical properties: | Kinetic parameters: KM=26 mM for 2,5-diketo-D-gluconate {ECO:0000269|PubMed:3597405}; KM=10 uM for NADPH {ECO:0000269|PubMed:3597405}; pH dependence: Optimum pH is 6.4. Active over a broad pH range. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:3597405}; | |
| Subunit: | Monomer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14718658}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm. | |
| Biotechnology: | Introduced by genetic manipulation and expressed in Erwinia herbicola by Anderson et al. The resultant organism is able to convert in a single fermentative step D-glucose into 2-keto-L-gulonic acid, a key precursor in the industrial production of L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C). However, the technology still needs some working on and is not used in commercial production at present. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Modeling study indicates that the active site may not be optimized for 2,5-diketo-D-gluconic acid. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the aldo/keto reductase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
